I don't think so. I have "compiled" a perl script before using perl2exe and Win32::GUI and it stuffs the DLL's in with the file. I believe you can make them external so the .exe file is small(er) and then if you were to do a second one it would use the existing DLLs but I'm not 100% sure.

update: (5:16pm BST) oh, forgot to mention. if you do use Win32::GUI - keep an eye on the memory requirements. I seem to remember it was pretty hefty for a relatively small app - 400px x 300px main window - 20 elements. and it seemed that the longer I kept it open the more memory it used - more specifically - whenever I moved the mouse pointer around over the window the memory usage went up slowly but surely (and only ever in the one direction) as if the app was "remembering" where the pointer had been.
